Chapter 519 Ancient Demon

Fang Yue became more determined, took one last look at Ling'er, then resolutely turned around and walked out of the valley.

Tears rolled in Ling'er's eyes. She wanted to shout but was afraid of delaying Fang Yue's departure, so she could only watch as his back gradually disappeared from sight.

After Fang Yue left the valley, his heart was full of worries about Ling'er, but he also understood that he must regain his strength as soon as possible in order to better protect Ling'er.

He found a relatively quiet and secluded place outside the valley and began to meditate and regulate his breath.

Although this place is not as rich in vitality as in the valley, it still has a certain amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth.

Fang Yue calmed down and used the little energy left in his body to try to repair the injuries caused by the continuous battles.

In the process of adjusting his breath, his thoughts gradually drifted away.

The more Fang thought about his battle with the mysterious Lord, the powerful enemy made him deeply aware of his own lack of strength.

He knew that if he wanted to gain a foothold in this dangerous world, he must constantly improve his level.

Now he is only in the realm of Grand Master. Although he can deal with many challenges under normal circumstances, it still seems a bit difficult to encounter a powerful enemy like the mysterious Lord.

Not to mention, the Lord is said to be just a clone of the Demon Emperor.

And Fang Yue doubted in his heart that the Lord was not really killed, and that the beast might come back again.

While Fang Yue was deep in thought, he suddenly heard a faint conversation in the distance.

As soon as his heart moved, he immediately restrained his breath and quietly approached the direction of the sound.

I saw two demon clansmen dressed in gorgeous clothes chatting under a big tree.

"Have you heard? There are recent rumors in the demon world that a demon emperor is about to return." One of the lion demons said.

"What? The Demon Emperor is back?" The fox demon turned pale with fright, his eyes filled with fear.

In the ancient demon world, there were once five demon emperors, each of whom possessed the power to destroy the world. Their battles had devastated all the creatures in the demon world and severely damaged their vitality.

Now that the demon emperor is coming back, although I don’t know who he is, I think he is definitely not a good person.

"If the Demon Emperor comes back, he will definitely have to hold a big sacrifice in order to regain his strength. I don't know how many demon clans will die by then!"

"Grand Festival? What does this mean?" the fox demon asked nervously, and the hair on his tail started to stand up.

The lion demon frowned and said solemnly: "The great sacrifice required by the demon emperor to restore his strength is not an ordinary sacrifice. According to ancient records, a large number of demon clans with special bloodline lives are required as sacrifices, and they must be sacrificed at a specific time. Sacrifice at a specific location, at a specific time, with a special formation, so as to meet the demon emperor's need to restore his strength. Moreover, those demons selected as sacrifices will not be able to escape no matter where they hide. "

After hearing this, the fox demon trembled slightly: "Then what should we do? Will we be selected?"

The lion demon sighed: "No one knows whether we will be selected, but we have to prepare early. I heard that those demons with special blood will have some special marks on their bodies or emit a unique aura."

The lion demon's eyes are gloomy, and now the demonic energy is erupting, which is constantly eroding their demon world.

Moreover, the southern demon world has begun to invade the human world. The demon world is facing enemies on several sides and is in danger.

"What should we do?" The fox demon was spinning in circles in a hurry, wagging its tail more and more rapidly.

"With the commotion in the southern demon world, the already shaky demon world is probably going to be even more chaotic. By then, let alone dealing with the demon emperor's return, I'm afraid it won't even be able to protect itself."

The lion demon was also full of sorrow, and sighed helplessly: "Yes, those guys in the southern demon world have always been impulsive and aggressive. They only want to snatch resources and expand their territory. They don't want to think about the current situation. The shadow of the demon emperor's return is hanging over them. If you go to provoke the human world, won't you push everyone into a pit of fire?"

He knew that once this series of changes broke out, the disaster would be unimaginable.

Both the demon world and the human world will fall into endless war and chaos, and countless creatures will suffer in this catastrophe.

"Then we must quickly find a way to stop the invasion of the southern demon world. We can't let them continue to do this." The fox demon couldn't help but said.

The lion demon glanced at Fang Yue, frowned slightly and said, "It's easier said than done. Those forces in the southern demon world have always gone their own way, so how could they listen to our advice? And now that they have tasted the sweetness of the human world's resources, I'm afraid they won't give up."

Just as they were discussing how to unite all forces to deal with the crisis, suddenly, a gloomy atmosphere spread from all around.

Immediately afterwards, a sharp whistling sound pierced the air, and several black shadows shot toward their location like lightning.

"careful!"

The lion demon roared and became alert instantly. The hair on its body stood up and it took a defensive posture.

The fox demon quickly cast a protective spell, and a layer of light blue light lit up around them, forming a simple shield.

However, those black shadows are extremely fast and their power is beyond imagination. In the blink of an eye, it broke through the fox demon's shield and hit them hard.

"Ah!" The fox demon let out a cry of pain, was knocked backwards, and fell heavily to the ground.

The lion demon also staggered a few steps due to the sudden attack, but he quickly stabilized his figure, waved his sharp claws, and rushed towards the black shadow, roaring:

"How dare you, Fang Xiaoxiao, make a sneak attack!"

The lion demon also reacted instantly. He dodged and cleverly avoided the head-on collision of the black shadows. At the same time, he unsheathed the mace in his hand, bringing out a ray of cold light and slashing towards the black shadows.

But these black shadows were extremely strange, as if they could predict the lion demon's movements and easily dodge his attacks, then quickly turned back and rushed towards them again.

At this time, the fox demon struggled to get up from the ground, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth. Her face was pale, but her eyes still showed determination. She quickly formed seals with her hands and muttered words, preparing to cast another spell to fight back.

The lion demon was fighting in close quarters with the black shadow, and every swing of his claws brought up a gust of wind. However, although the number of black shadows was not large, they were extremely flexible and tough, and the lion demon was unable to repel them for a while.

The fox demon was secretly shocked, wondering who these sneak attackers were and how powerful they were.

Although the spell the fox demon cast again was quite powerful, the black shadows shuttled flexibly through it without being greatly hindered, and still rushed towards them menacingly.

The lion demon gradually became exhausted in the close fight with the black shadow, and several new wounds were added to his body. Blood continued to seep out, dyeing the hair on his side red.

His movements also became a little slower due to the pain. Inadvertently, he was hit by a black shadow on his waist. His whole body was knocked to the side and he fell heavily under a big tree, making a loud sound. A muffled groan.

Seeing that the black shadow was about to take advantage of the situation and give the lion demon a fatal blow, Fang Yue's eyes flashed, and his body flew towards the lion demon like lightning.

He waved the sword in his hand, and a powerful sword energy instantly slashed at the black shadows that rushed toward the lion demon. The powerful force tore a hole in the air, making a sharp whistling sound.

The black shadows felt the threat of this sword energy and had to temporarily give up attacking the lion demon and evade.

Fang Yue took the opportunity to fall next to the lion demon, stretched out his hand to help him up, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

"Thank you to this demon brother for taking action. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have been in trouble." The lion demon endured the pain on his body and said gratefully to the other party, his eyes full of joy of surviving the disaster.

Although he didn't recognize the demon clan in front of him, he was secretly surprised by the opponent's strength. To be able to display such a powerful sword energy at such a critical moment is by no means an ordinary person.

The fox demon also came over, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at Fang Yue and said: "Brother, we have remembered today's kindness. It's just that these black shadows are really weird, we have to find a way to figure out their origins. , otherwise the consequences will be endless.”

Fang Yue nodded slightly, with a solemn expression: "These black shadows move quickly and seem to be able to discern our attack intentions. Ordinary attacks are not effective against them. Moreover, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Let's find a safe place first and then consider the long term."

The lion demon led Fang Yue and the fox demon quickly through the mountain forest. After a while, a cottage hidden deep in the valley appeared in front of them. There are ingenious traps and deceptions around the village, which would be difficult to detect unless someone is familiar with the route.

"This is my territory. It is guarded by brothers from my clan. It is relatively safe." The lion demon said as he led the two of them through layers of defenses and entered the stronghold.

When the demon clansmen in the village saw the lion demon returning injured, they all showed surprise and concern and gathered around him.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" A little lion demon asked eagerly.

"Don't ask anymore. Quickly help me and these two friends to heal their injuries." The lion demon said.

Everyone hurriedly took them to a secluded residence in the village, where there were healing springs and various herbs. Fang Yue and the fox demon nursed their injuries in the spiritual spring, feeling the power of the spiritual spring nourishing their damaged bodies, and the vitality in their bodies was slowly recovering.

After the injury improved slightly, Fang Yue, the lion demon and the fox demon gathered together to discuss.

"The appearance of this black shadow is too strange. I suspect that there is someone behind the scenes manipulating all of this. It is full of demonic energy, and it should be caused by the infection of ancient demons!" Fang Yue frowned and analyzed.

"Ancient demon infestation? This is troublesome." After listening to Fang Yue's words, the fox demon couldn't help frowning, his eyes full of worry, "The ancient demon has always been mysterious and powerful. If they are behind the scenes, this crisis will be serious. It’s far more serious than we imagined.”

The lion demon also had a solemn look on his face and pounded the table hard: "Hmph! Whether it's an ancient demon or something else, they dare to run wild on my territory and hurt so many of our brothers. I will make them pay the price!"

Fang Yue shook his head slightly: "Brother Lion Demon, please don't be impulsive. The strength of the ancient demons cannot be underestimated. Our top priority is to understand their purpose and the connection with the many crises in the current demon world. For example, these infected black Is Ying attacking us this time to prevent us from uniting all forces to fight against the invasion of the southern demon world, or is it because he doesn’t want us to have the energy to deal with the demon emperor who is about to return.”

The fox demon nodded in agreement: "Brother Fang Yue is right. And we still have to see how wide the scope of this ancient demon's infestation is. If it has already secretly laid out its plans in many places in the demon world, it would be terrible."

Just as he was talking, a demon clan responsible for inquiring about the news hurried over, looking panicked: "Your Majesty, it's not good! We found that weird demonic energy appeared in many places around the village, and there were also some demon clan brothers. He seems to be affected and his behavior becomes weird, as if he is controlled by something!”

"What?" The lion demon stood up suddenly, "Come on, take me to see it!"

Fang Yue and the fox demon looked at each other and hurried to follow.

When everyone came to the edge of the village, they saw a faint black demonic energy filling the air. Some demons were shrouded in the demonic aura, their eyes were dull, their bodies were trembling slightly, and they let out a few low roars from time to time, as if they were completely lost. self conscious.

Fang got closer and carefully observed the monsters affected by the demonic energy, and his face became more and more serious: "The situation is worse than I expected. The contagious power of this ancient demon is so strong. If it is allowed to develop, the entire village may be destroyed." will be in crisis.”

The fox demon also looked worried and sighed softly: "Oh, it is indeed difficult. But our energy has not been fully restored yet, and we may not be able to deal with the infestation of this ancient demon. But we can't just wait. Well, we have to come up with a solution as soon as possible.”

The lion demon clenched his fists and paced back and forth on the spot, his eyes full of anxiety and anger:

"Hmph! This ancient demon is so deceptive. He dares to do all these tricks around my village and harm my brother. No matter what, I must find a way to break this situation and restore peace to my village!"

Fang Yue frowned, and after glancing around, he slowly said:

"Although the current momentum of the demonic energy is strong, it is not without flaws. I have heard that although the ancient demons are strong, what they are most afraid of in the demonic energy they release is pure spiritual power and the power of the Sun. Perhaps we You can start from this aspect and find ways to restrain yourself.”

"Pure spiritual power? The power of the Sun?"

The fox demon frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "I do know that there is a place where spiritual energy gathers deep in the village. Spiritual energy is always overflowing on weekdays. Maybe a way to restrain the evil energy can be found there. As for the power of Zhiyang, this great power During the day, the sun is high in the sky, how can we use it?”

Fang Yue pondered for a moment, and a light flashed in his eyes: "We can try to refine a special magic weapon, or perform a fusion technique to combine the spiritual power of the spiritual veins with the power of the sun.

For example, using a medium that can absorb spiritual power and sunlight, through specific formations and rune guidance, the two can blend with each other to form a new power that has a restraining effect on demonic energy. "

The lion demon's eyes lit up: "Sounds good, so what kind of media do we need? And do you know the specific formations and runes?"

"Of course, I happen to know a thing or two!"

Fang Yue looked solemn and spoke slowly while recalling the records in ancient books he had read. (End of chapter)
